Chapter 5
And then the people crossed their arms,
2And rolled their eyes, looking at Chuck and tapping their temples from time to time,
3Saying, “Why don’t you lie down for a while?
4“We’ll come back later when you feel better.”
5And then they tiptoed away.
6Whereupon Chuck felt sad and depressed,
7Until his fbeagle came up and licked his face,
8Scratched at a few fleas,
9And said, “Don’t be downhearted, Chuck,
10“It’ll all work out in the end.”
11“Trust me.”
12And when Chuck remonstrated with his beagle, saying, “You’re just a dog, what do you know?”
13The beagle replied, “As a matter of fact, I know quite a lot. Let me tell you about it.”
14Then the beagle spoke, at considerable length, and described many wonderful things that would happen in the future.
